Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program

The State uses the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) Summary screen to 1) invite Contracting Entities/Sites to apply for FFVP funding and 2) approve invited Contracting Entities/Sites that have submitted a FFVP application to receive funding. This menu option is available ONLY to authorized State users.

Outside of the system, the State determines which Contracting Entities, and their sites, to invite to apply for Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program funds. Once the State has determined their invite list, they must identify the invitees within the system.

1. On the blue menu bar, select Applications.

2. From the Applications menu, select FFVP Invitations and Approvals. The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program Summary screen displays.

3. Select the “Count for the Contracting Entities/Sites Invited to participate in the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP)” option. The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program Sites Invited screen displays.

4. Using the parameters provided, search for the Contracting Entity/Site you would like to invite to apply for the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program.

Note: To perform a search, uncheck the “Click to show only invited sites” checkbox and enter at least one parameter.

5. Select the checkbox next to each Contracting Entity/Site to invite. If you would like to invite all the Contracting Entities/Sites displayed, check the “Invite All” checkbox.

6. Select Save. The respective Contracting Entities/Sites selected become display only.

Note: Inviting a Contracting Entity/Site through this screen will automatically put a Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Application item on the Contracting Entity's Application Packet screen for the designated year.

Note: Once the Contracting Entity completes the FFVP Application without errors, the system automatically approves participating sites. (See Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Application section.) No additional action is required on behalf of the State to approve a Contracting Entity/Site.

1. On the blue menu bar, select Applications.

2. From the Applications menu, select FFVP Invitations and Approvals. The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program Summary screen displays.

3. Select the “Count for the Contracting Entities/Sites Approved to participate in the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP)” option. The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program Sites Approved screen displays. The screen defaults to all Contracting Entities/Sites that have a Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program Application with a status of “Approved”.

Note: To perform a search for a specific Contracting Entity, enter at least one parameter.

4. Select the checkbox next to each Contracting Entity/Site to approve for funding. If you would like to approve all the Contracting Entities/Sites displayed, check the “Approve All” checkbox.

5. Select Save. The respective Contracting Entities/Sites selected become display only.
